Gold, Frankincense and Moorgate: new season of Hidden London tickets on sale soon
The brand new Moorgate Metropolitan Maze disused station tour has been added to the latest season of Hidden London tours - just in time to buy as an unusual Christmas gift for loved-ones or friends.
Visitors will be able to discover a secret underworld of eerie dark passages as they explore the wonders of Moorgate station, the portal into the City and one of London’s first Underground stations.
One of the highlights of the tour is seeing an original 1904 Greathead Shield, a revolutionary tunnelling machine used to dig the early Tube lines. This feat of engineering was operated by men digging the earth by hand. The relic, which has been left abandoned on site, is the only one of its kind on the London Underground network.
Guests can choose a tour package to suit their tastes. Film fans should go on the Charing Cross disused station tour and Skyfall film (2012) screening or the Aldwych tour and complimentary Darkest Hour (2017) film screening. Charing Cross is used as a filming location for series such as Killing Eve (2019) where Eve (Actress Sandra Oh) stands on the platform in a chilling scene and Aldwych features in the Stan and Ollie (2018) movie.
Those wishing to add a touch of luxury to their Charing Cross tour will love the traditional afternoon tea at the Amba hotel or the cocktails at Flemings Mayfair Hotel.
Christmas shoppers can combine a beautifully printed festive souvenir tour ticket presented in a high-quality envelope with a stylish Hidden London inspired gift to create a lovely Christmas package. Hidden London gifts include colourful china homeware and other stocking fillers which can be bought online* or in London Transport Museum’s Covent Garden shop.
